All action finds its seeds in desire. Action is motion. Desire is the beginning of motion. All things in this universe are moving, so what did the First Mover desire?
then again, perhaps desire is a motion unto itself... but then to move, a thing must want to move, right? So thought began action, internal will begets external reality... To begin, a thing must want to begin. Things are the product of action, action is the product of the soul, the soul is the first mover, unmoved by nothing but itself... even the core of our beings are contradictions...
it only seems like a contradiction because in life, there is the illusion of beginning and endings... but if you actually look at how a fetus is made and develops, how a person is born, children we have... individuality dies, but the whole moves on, eternally reproducing itself... there is no beginning and no ending, no source, just the illusion of... Read More source, but all sources have source, even our thoughts and dreams, internal as well as external reality. We are contradictions because our cultures and societies make us so. We try to fit what we observe in the world to our own social constructs and values and when they don't fit, we are left with confusion, fear, anger, untruth... the trick to escaping contradiction is just being, accepting that all makes sense in the pattern of the universe, none of this is out of place...
my contradictions are not me, only the principle motion, the will that leads to desire that leads to movement... I am my direction... perhaps it is by contradiction, two opposite forces repelling each other, that motion is born -- the motion of our thoughts, of our desires, of our beings...
through contradiction, we desire balance, thus motion is born, and I am the thing that directs that motion... but even that direction is ultimately a cumulative illusion of past experiences, the illusion of choice when really every choice is already made for us, by our genetics, by our societies, by our parents and influences... so really, I am just the I. I observe. I do nothing.
"I" is the only thing impermeable and unchanging, and it does not move, it is ultimately uninfluenced by contradiction, force, will... as is the First Mover of this universe. All else is the illusion of movement, consequence, and contradiction.
